🧠 Dan’s AI Terminology Tracker

This past weekend - in between kids’ birthday parties, cake, and chaos - I pulled together something I’ve been meaning to build for a while:

🎯 A visual, open source AI terminology tracker - designed to help make sense of the rapidly evolving language around AI, ML, Generative AI, and the Microsoft AI ecosystem.

As someone diving deep into Azure AI Foundry, I kept running into scattered definitions, mismatched documentation, and “what does that mean again?” moments. So I did what we do - I built a tool.

🗺️ What It Is

The tracker is a Markmap-powered mind map that organizes:

• AI/ML learning paradigms

• LLM and Generative AI concepts

• MLOps and GenAIOps workflows

• Data pipelines and infrastructure

• Microsoft-specific tools like Azure OpenAI, Prompt Flow, AI Studio, and more

• Ethics, governance, and emerging regulations like the EU AI Act

It’s designed to be clickable, skimmable, and useful whether you’re a beginner or deep in the Azure AI space.

🚧 A Few Notes

• It’s still a work in progress — expect regular updates

• It leans toward the Microsoft ecosystem — by design

• Built with ❤️, Markdown, Markmap, and the 30 minutes between party clean-up and bedtime

Thanks for checking it out - and if it helps clarify something along your AI learning journey, I’d love to hear about it!
